Sounds like a lot of anxiety. Anxiety is a common part of BP, but there is definitely a lot more to BP than various forms of anxiety.
My BP1 diagnosis, or possibly schizoaffective, still up in the air, is pretty crystal clear, in terms of mood and psychosis issues. I had an episode where I thought I was a shaman and a master mycologist and broke federal law seeking a connection to the spirit realm. I've been homeless while believing that I was destined by higher powers to save all of the homeless people. I've had paranoid breaks at work and saw people's faces becoming demonic. I once worked in an office and my cubicle became littered with notes covered in incoherent magical-thinking math, it was like some Beautiful Mind **** without me being a genius. There is plenty to back up by diagnosis. But if I all ever had was anxiety problems of various types, I would also be highly skeptical of a BP1 diagnosis.
